Angelina Jolie in Maria (2024)
'Maria' star Angelina Jolie and producer/director Pablo Larraín discuss how they connected to the heartbreaking true story of the world-renowned opera singer Maria Callas. Jolie explains that training to sing opera for seven months was the only way to honor Callas's talent and for the Oscar-winning actor to understand her tragic tale. Larraín, who directed the Academy Award-nominated performances of Kristen Stewart in 'Spencer' (2021) and Natalie Portman in 'Jackie' (2016), admits that he connects to Callas's story through his own hypochondriacal fear of losing his eyesight and his ability to make films.

    High performance of all actors

    Ver well written and good directed. The Actors give an extraordinary performance, especially Angelina and Haluk Bilginer.

    Some scene hey Siri don't show, but suggest. The suggestions tell more than showing it. In particular the flashbacks into the Nazi-Occupation... The music is of course great, mainly Pulcini.

    The dialogues are sudden and unexpected.

    The dialogue between Callas and Kennedy is great and tells a lot, as well as the dialogue between Callas, Onasis and a fan of Callas.

    These two dialogues show, that powerful men, who were seen great at there time and great until today, were in reality simple to primitive persons.

    This movie is very recommendable.
